Shrinking gadgets...To...Shrinking minds

Years ago we used to have big B&W television sets,heavy noise making vehicles, bulky telephones with entangled wires but with time we progressed to LCD screens, Nano cars and wireless cellular phones. It's not just the gadgets that shrinked but also the "altruism"(unselfish concern for others: for those who need to search the meaning in a dictionary or who are now not able to recollect it at the moment).
We are now habituated of living in the narrowness of our own mind and beyond this we find the beauty of the nature, the world which surrounds us bleak. How often we see a debilitated body around us longing for food and we keep enjoying the flavour of the icecreams in our hand, oh!! and then we never forget to mention it.. Destiny. We do maintain our houses free from even the minutest particles of dust or waste but how easy is it for us to throw and spit outside our windows and doors because that is where our hygiene ends. We think of being a Bradd Pitt, a Sachin Tendulkar, a Shahrukh Khan,a Aishwariya Rai, a Mukesh Ambani.... but how many of us or do any of us think of being the Gandhi, Florence Nightingale, Mother Teresa, good to read stuffs please don't ask me to follow.
Change is constant and yes we have changed but this change is not an amelioration but a pejoration of out ethical and moral values. It is not that every mind is a victim of this new age phenomenon but we have surrendered to situation around us.
A new revolution seems to be the only remedy for breaking free from this mind web but that.....
